This is the central area of the tower's courtyard. On one
side stand the fearsome Watchers, guarding the entrance and exit
from the compound, while on the other side are the massive doors
that lead into the tower proper. The remnants of the recent
battle are still evident here, although all of the bodies have
been piled to the northwest. The doors to the tower are thrown
wide open, and the re-fortification of the tower makes this quite
a busy area.
The sky is clear yet still dark as night.
The only obvious exits are tower, southwest, gate and northeast.

You push the bale with all your might, pricking your hand

and a small entrance into the stack is revealed to you.
